Welcome to The Frog and the Golden Promise – The Listening Glow, a warm and reassuring bedtime story from Max & Lumi, created especially for children aged 4–7.

This softly reimagined retelling of the classic Grimm fairy tale invites children into a quiet castle garden, where a small promise becomes a powerful lesson — not through excitement or fear, but through calm listening and gentle reflection.

Tonight’s Magic Word is Promise — a strong, important word to hold quietly in the mind (not spoken out loud). As the story unfolds, children are encouraged to feel what a promise is like: steady, warm, and trustworthy.

🌿 About tonight’s story

In Nocternia, the Storylight Jar glows warm amber, signalling the Listening Glow — the first and calmest step in the Three Glows bedtime rhythm.

Gramps tells the story of a Princess, a deep cool well, and a small green Frog who asks for one thing in return for help: a promise.

As the Princess learns that words have weight — and that keeping a promise can feel difficult at first — children are gently guided to notice:
• steady breathing
• calm attention
• the feeling of truth and trust
• the quiet strength of doing the right thing

With Lumi’s soothing guidance, soft pauses, and slow narration, children are invited to settle their bodies and listen deeply.

✨ Magic Word of the Week: Promise

In this Listening Glow, Promise is introduced gently and without pressure.

A promise can mean:
• saying you will do something
• holding onto your word
• being trustworthy
• doing the right thing even when it feels hard

Children don’t need to understand the word fully yet — they simply hold it quietly in their thoughts, like a golden thread.

🌙 What is the Listening Glow?

The Listening Glow is the first part of the Three Glows bedtime rhythm:

• Listening Glow – settle the body and mind
• Learning Glow – gently understand the word
• Living Glow – rest while the word becomes part of you

This episode is designed for the very beginning of sleep, when comfort and calm matter most.

⸻

🎧 Designed for calm sleep

This episode is intentionally created to support relaxation and sleep readiness:
• Slow, steady narration (around 100–120 words per minute)
• Gentle breathing cues woven into the story
• No loud sounds, no conflict, no rushing
• Predictable, reassuring structure
• Ideal for sensitive and neurodivergent children

Many children fall asleep during the Listening Glow — and that’s exactly how it’s meant to be used.

⸻

🌙 A gentle reflection before sleep

Before drifting off, children are invited to quietly remember a moment from their day where they kept a promise — or tried to do the right thing.

This helps the day close softly, without pressure or judgement.
